📋 About This Mod
This brings Xavbio's HD Stormcloak Armor Textures to Civil War Deserters.
It also corrects a minor bug where the armor was matched with the wrong normal map.
I re-colored the diffuse and added subtle staining for realism. Comes in 2K and 4K options for both sleeved and sleeveless versions.
Install with the mod manager of your choice.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 118 endorsements and over 6.5k downloads
- Gives the deserter armor a crisp, high-res look that fits the vanilla aesthetic
- Simple texture replacer—no gameplay changes, just visual polish
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers the Stormcloak Deserter Armor, so other Civil War Deserters gear won't get the same treatment
- Requires the Civil War Deserters mod to be installed, so it's useless without that dependency
- Potential conflicts with other mods that retexture the same armor—check your load order
For Skyrim players who use Civil War Deserters and want their deserter armor to look sharper without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you don't use that mod or prefer complete armor overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it'll overwrite the original textures automatically.
- For 4K textures, make sure your GPU can handle the extra VRAM load, especially if you're running other texture mods.
- Place this mod after Civil War Deserters in your load order to ensure the textures apply correctly.
